    The poemWar is Kind” was written by Stephen Crane in 1899. He was born after the civil war‚ but died before WWI. Crane wrote this poem about the civil war and the men who fought in it. The poem has three different themes: Warfare‚ The Home‚ and Patriotism. “War is Kind” does not mean that war is actually kind it is just saying that people are willing to go into battle and sacrifice their lives for their country. War is cruel‚ not kind‚ the exact opposite of what Crane repeats throughout the poem

    In the WWI poems “Suicide in the trenches” by Siegfried Sassoon and “The Leveller” by Robert Graves‚ an important idea that is conveyed in both poems is that war is not beautiful. It is an end to humanity and war itself is destruction. Sassoon uses imagery and emotive words to show us the true horror of war and Graves uses metaphors and similes to highlight the idea that there is no glory in dying and that those back home have been misled about the death of the soldiers. In Siegfried Sassoon’s

    to do with society‚ but Wordsworth ’s are based around nature and spiritual reflection. These differences are probably partly due to Blake ’s living in London‚ and Wordsworth ’s living in the countryside - as seen in the different settings of their poems. Blake writes implicitly in "London" - making it clear that he is not fond of the city; but not once openly stating his own personal opinion of it. He does this by describing what he sees with irony and symbolism. One example is when Blake talks about

    Virgil’s Aeneid an Anti-War Poem? Virgil opens the ‘Aeneid’ with the words ARMA virumque cano ( I sing of arms and of men). The central role that war plays in this Roman epic is made apparent from the very first word of the ‘Aeneid’ by the emphatic placing of the word arma at the very beginning of the poem. A fair chunk of Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’ is set on the battle field but its violent and gory descriptions of death and its frequent battles alone cannot make this poem an anti-war poem. Virgil does not

    The Korean and Vietnam war are very similar in that both were the US’s attempt to fight communism by waging war in a distant third world country. Both wars were unpopular in the US and both led to a lack of victory. In fact‚ remarkable similarities exist between the Korean War and the Vietnam War; from the US support of a dictatorial and corrupt anti-communist regime to its conception of communism as a monolithic entity‚ under which all communist nations were necessarily allies‚ rather than individuals

    Comparative essay between the poems “Out‚ Out-” and “Disabled” Wilfred Owen and Robert Frost both use their poems “Out‚ Out-” and “Disabled” to portray the destruction of youth and how it can be cut short by a lack of maturity and wisdom. This creates a sense of loss of innocence within the reader. In “Out‚ Out-” the subject or character has a very quick and short death which contrasts to “Disabled” as death would be a merciful release to the veteran described. Frost and Owen also both use a third

    The short story by Ailing “Sealed Off” has various levels and interpretations of the title. The first being the war background and what happened throughout the city. Shanghai grew quiet every time an air raid attack happened when the Japanese frequently bombed them during the Second Sino-Japanese War. When these air raid attacks happened the city would seal off temporarily. The tramcars would halt and seal off as well‚ and whoever was in the tramcars would be stuck inside until the raids were over

    The Great War (28 July‚1914-11 November‚1918)‚ also known as The First World War‚ was one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 millions people were killed and much more were injured. It shocked the whole world and‚ on the other hand‚ became an inspiration for many writers. The aim of poetry were: to stop spreading violence among people‚ to finish the cruel war‚ and to make people aware of all consequences of fighting. The three great examples of such works are‚ in my opinion: Siegfried Sassoon’s
